You insist that I do it your way, and that isn't going to happen. For me and lots of folks like me.
Your party has managed to lose 2 presidential elections. Are you going to go for 3?

You know they will. Republican Party: Whig Party Redux.
I would love nothing better than see a true conservative elected as President. However, I am not disillusioned into thinking that a true conservative President will cure America's ills. It's a national problem. Look at how much the moral fabric of America has dissolved. Too many Americans believe we are becoming more enlightened when the exact opposite is the reality. We are sinking into the darkness.
While I admit that I am registered as a Republican, I am an American first, a conservative second, and a Republican third. I feel very betrayed by the establishment now controling the Republican Party. I also feel betrayed by a lot of American citizens who select what the establishment want.
I'm no fan of Mitt, and never have been, in my opinion though he would have been better for this country and her citizens than Obama has been. For that reason and that reason alone I voted for him. I knew he wasn't a conservative, but I also knew he wasn't a socialist.
There are lots of things I want, but I always supply my needs first over my wants. I need what is best for my country and us, her citizens. In turn that person will be best for the world as well. I want a conservative who knows how to lead this country. When I am unable to vote for the conservative I want, I then vote for the leader this country needs, in opposition to the leader this country cannot afford having.
I could only wish the Republican Party were my party, for it would look a lot different than it does. It would have a clear concise platform of what it stands for, and would be guided by a strong moral compass. It would stand with conservatives and conservative philosophies. It would lead with morality to enrich the country and her citizens that ideally would spread to more of the world. It would not be led by the lust for power. That's my goal. It's a lofty goal for sure and may be unobtainable. It's not a goal I will ever see in my lifetime, but I would like to see the spark at least develop and start creating the embers from which a sustainable fire will emerge.
I guess you think I am insisting that conservatives stop fighting one another, but it is really more of a suggestion. As far as doing it my way, I'm not sure what you are talking about. I am talking about us, conservatives, defining a goal we can agree on and meeting that goal. For example, I think our goal should have been to defeat Obama. If I can't get the conservative I want, then I set my sights on getting the person who is the most conservative of the viable choices available. Once that simple goal is obtained than conservatives build on that towards our next goal. Like I said it is going to take time, it is not going to happen in one election and it certainly isn't going to be the election of a single person.
Obama didn't really affect the changes in America, that has been a slow process that has taken decades. He was just the recipient of a path with very little resistance. A path too many Americans made possible thanks to propaganda by the press, dumbing down of our educational systems, and the erosion of faith in God. It has been a very clever methodical plan, most likely created by the Russians, carried out over time to destroy America. Obama was just the last piece of the puzzle to make these changes finally possible. Changes that were unthinkable even 10 years ago. He and his fellow Democrats cared only for power and wealth, and didn't have any concerns about what was sacrificed or destroyed in their quest. The least of their concerns were the middle class, the entrenched poor, or America.
If conservatives work together and place their faith in God, I believe we can overcome this well thought out & executed plan. If we keep fighting amongst ourselves there is no hope of succeeding. I'm an old man who is getting older by the minute, so it's not for me nor is it my plan. It is merely my suggestions. Sometimes you have to take a route that is not the most desired route, but if it keeps getting you closer to your destination than you are making progress in the right direction.
Well I guess I have rambled on long enough, and most likely too long. But I didn't know how to say it in a clever sound bite.
“I’m a conservative that won’t vote for a liberal republican.”
Well I’m certainly left red-faced. I hated gambling on McRomney. What a CREEP! What a LIAR!
But hey, at least I was always in favor of the anti-Romney throughout the primary. And I’d vote against Obama again.
Still, you do deserve a month of gloating. Enjoy.
